corrupt pst file

[marty]

I have a .pst file that seems to be corrupt. I have tried
to use the pstscan.exe but will not correct the problem.
Is there any other solutions I could try? The size of this
file is 1.9gig. (obviously need to do some archiving)

Thanks in advance

You didn not indicate what version of office you are using so I will asume
its xp for this example
you need to crop the pst file to a smaller size

then run scanpst.exe after choppint the size of the pst down a tad
